Ain’t poking that one! LOL! I’m watching the Pope’s visit to the White House on EWTN. That way I don’t have to listen to the inane comments from our media pundits. I get to listen to Raymond Arroyo and Fr. Richard Neuhaus. Right now the Marine band and chorus is singing “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Them Marines sure know how to sing! ;o) It is one of my favorite songs. The President was sitting with his head bobbing to the beat when it first started.
When the Chorus started singing Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, the Pope was singing along!
I love the arrangement they do of the Battle Hymn.
One of the things I miss most about living in DC are the concerts. In the summer, you can find an outdoor concert by a military choir/band just about every night of the week.
